UN GA approves world map correction
The United Nations General Assembly has decided to adopt a resolution aimed at correcting the world map and restoring balance in regional representation, especially concerning Africa. This will be achieved through adopting an equal-area projection system that more accurately reflects the true sizes of continents. The resolution seeks to correct cartographic distortions inherited from history, which have historically depicted Africa and other regions as smaller than their actual size. Such corrections are intended to promote greater recognition, justice, and development. The resolution calls upon countries and organizations to adopt this system to improve the accuracy of global representation and to provide a more fair and balanced visual depiction of the Earth.
